+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*int zmq_recvmsg (void '*socket', zmq_msg_t '*msg', int 'flags');*
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _zmq_recvmsg()_ function shall receive a message from the socket referenced
+by the 'socket' argument and store it in the message referenced by the 'msg'
+argument. Any content previously stored in 'msg' shall be properly deallocated.
+If there are no messages available on the specified 'socket' the _zmq_recvmsg()_

+is a combination of the flags defined below:
+
+*ZMQ_DONTWAIT*::

+
+Multi-part messages
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A 0MQ message is composed of 1 or more message parts; each message part is an
+independent 'zmq_msg_t' in its own right. 0MQ ensures atomic delivery of
+messages; peers shall receive either all _message parts_ of a message or none
+at all.
+
+The total number of message parts is unlimited.
+
+An application wishing to determine if a message is composed of multiple parts
+does so by retrieving the value of the _ZMQ_RCVMORE_ socket option on the
+'socket' it is receiving the message from. If there are no message parts to
+follow, or if the message is not composed of multiple parts, _ZMQ_RCVMORE_
+shall report a value of zero. Otherwise, _ZMQ_RCVMORE_ shall report a value of
+1, indicating that more message parts are to follow.
+
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _zmq_recvmsg()_ function shall return number of bytes in the message
+if successful. Otherwise it shall return `-1` and set 'errno' to one of the
+values defined below.

+below for a detailed description.
+
+*ZMQ_SNDLABEL*::
+Specifies that the message being sent is a label. Labels are used internally
+by 0MQ.
+
+The _zmq_msg_t_ structure passed to _zmq_sendmsg()_ is nullified during the
+call. If you want to send the same message to multiple sockets you have to copy
